Answer
Shalom u-vracha
I am not familiar with such a concept.
In order to permit yourself to do melachah after nightfall (tzeit ha-kochavim) on Motzaei Shabbat, you must make havdalah. For this, it is sufficient to say the following formula: "Baruch ha-mavdil bein kodesh le-chol."
This formula does indeed permit you to do melachah, but it does not exempt you from the requirement to hear havdalah over a cup of wine or grape juice, as prescribed by halacha.
